The internet troll army’s selling of the Kremlin’s parallel universe to the Russian people and to a skeptical Western audience is a matter of life and death for the Putin regime. If the Russian people do not buy their story, Putin loses the high “ratings” on which his regime rests. If he cannot convince his Western audience, Europe and the United States will take actions that spoil his Novorossiya ventures and threaten his regime. Trolling is a high stakes business that Putin takes seriously and the West must not underestimate.
Germany’s Angela Merkel described Russian President Vladimir Putin, after a phone conversation, as “living in another world.” Like Merkel, we, who write on Russia’s War on Ukraine, have all had our rude introduction to Putin’s “other world.” In his parallel universe, the aggressor is the victim, strangers appoint themselves “premiers” of non-existent “republics,” hundreds of soldiers mysteriously perish in border exercises or “on vacation,” a certified nationally elected government is a “neo-Nazi junta,” and hundreds of tanks and heavy weapons crossing borders are optical illusions.

According to a Buzzfeed account, each troll is expected to post 50 news articles daily and maintain six Facebook and ten Twitter accounts, with 50 tweets per day. At these rates, a small army of one thousand trolls will post 100,000 news articles and tweets per day.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles."--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)

The world’s first city developed around its temples, and only later did palaces play a role. Its view of the world was conditioned, as in all ancient societies, by totalitarian religious belief. So the picture that comes into focus is that of a theocratic command economy, hierarchically organized , centrally directed, and regulated according to an ideology propagated by a priesthood, playing the role that, 5,000 years later, Soviet Marxists would call ‘the engineers of human souls’. Such was temple rule. As a way of life, the economic and social system the priesthood supported was, for a long time, strikingly successful .

Putin supports Islamists who work for his allies, like Assad and the Mad Mullahs in Iran. Yet in your benighted and unsophisticated mind he's a great potential ally. Have you ever considered that he might be a bit dubious about his intentions? Aiding us in Afghanistan, you say. Well, not lately. Was he being helpful when he used his influence when he worked to get the US base at Manas, Kyrgyzstan closed?
And when he uses Chechen Islamist mercenaries in Ukraine, does that give you a warm fuzzy feeling that he's our type of Christian leader?
You either need to rethink your love of Putin or consider that the facts do not support your fondness for him and his pro-Christian policies. If you still choose to support Putin, then you're choosing to be a dupe. It's no longer an accident of the wrong premises or not having the facts.
“You’re a funny troll.”
You already outted yourself as one of Putin’s army of Internet trolls a long time ago. You talked about your presence in the Crimea and Sevastopol, IIRC. Certainly you’ve commented about your life in Russia.
Lol...
You are so full of crap, you have take off your shirt to take a crap.
I disagree with your propaganda narrative, so that obviously makes me a troll.
Sorry, I just don’t swallow the Obama-type BS you are trying to push. Go cry to Unkrinform about it.
When did you immigrate to the United States from Russia?
Boris, I hope you demand to be paid in US dollars for your troll postings. The way the Ruble is going you won’t be able to afford to pass out in a drunken stupor as is your usual habit.
Good thing we don’t have Putin Trolls here ...

Yeah, it gives us more time to figure out what we’re going to name all of those North Korean, Chinese, Iranian, Pakistani, and Arab trolls.
Its effective. Look what Obama trolls did to the birth certificate research here on FR.
